Dans le dos des deux fugitifs, la tête gigantesque fendit les branches et creva la cime des arbres et, l'espace d'un instant effroyable, Conan et Valeria virent la tête de cauchemar s'encadrer au milieu des feuilles vertes, les yeux flamboyants et les mâchoires béantes. Puis les crocs géants claquèrent et se refermèrent sur le vide, et la tête se renfonça, disparaissant de leur vue comme si elle venait de s'enfoncer sous l'eau.

Poussant un juron de panique, Conan fit jaillir son épée. "Crom ! Elle est vivante !" À ses mots, les longs cils noirs se soulevèrent et les yeux foncés s'ouvrirent pour le regarder... impénétrables, brillants, mystiques. Il resta ainsi à l'observer, muet de stupéfaction. L'oracle se redressa alors d'un geste souple sans quitter des yeux l'homme qui la regardait, comme ensorcelé. Conan est l'un des personnages de fiction les plus connus au monde. Robert E. Howard l'a créé en 1932 et avec lui, l'heroic fantasy.

Conan est l'un des personnages de fiction les plus connus au monde. Robert E. Howard l'a créé en 1932 et avec lui, l'heroic fantasy.

Pourtant, les nouvelles du Cimmérien n'ont jamais été publiées telles que son auteur les avait conçues. Elles ont été réarrangées, réécrites, modifiées, artificiellement complétées après sa mort.

Le gouverneur poussa un cri désespéré et se jeta sur son arme. L'homme des collines passa à l'action avec la vitesse dévastatrice d'un ouragan.Il bondit, envoya le gouverneur rouler à terre d'un puissant coup du pommeau de son poignard, saisit la Devi sous un bras puissant et bondit vers la fenêtre. Chunder Shan fit des efforts frénétiques pour se relever et vit l'homme rester un instant en équilibre sur le rebord de la fenêtre, dans une volée des habits de soie et des membres blancs de sa captive royale.
